Nvidia Turing: Mobile RTX graphics chips 2050/2060/2070 announced during CES

Over at the pending CES in Las Vegas Nvidia might be introducing first mobile offspring based on the Turing graphics architecture. If correct then the first Turing notebooks could already be available in about two months. 

Nvidia would plan to launch the first laptop with a Turing graphics unit but with availability in February. Initially, there would be two revisions, GeForce RTX 2070 as a temporary mobile flagship and then a lower clocked Max-Q variant. As Max-Q, Nvidia refers to graphics cards with lower power consumption and lower power, but in notebooks allow a more compact cooling and flatter design.

GeForce 2060, 2050 Ti and 2050 are also mentioned, the prefix (GTX/RTX) remains unclear. For while the 2070 versions of the RTX-exclusive features raytracing and DLSS support, the smaller chips could not have dedicated RT and tensor cores.

A possible RTX 2060 also surfaced in a benchmark. The graphics cards of the new series appear in benchmarks and databases, all models are listed , in addition also supplemented by smaller variants. These are in the RTX 2060 in the normal and Max-Q variant. With over 19,000 points in 3DMark, the RTX 2060 is expected to rank between GTX 1070 and 1070 Max-Q.
